I need some advice here. Concerning the first time trial in Peru, it states in the strategy guide that you need to finish it in 6 minutes. I did it in 5 minutes, 35 seconds. yet it's STILL states on the end screen "Time Trial completion- NO".....Any ideas?

That shouldn't matter at all because I finished that time trial without picking up secrets or medipacks. I've done it 5 minutes too but it says "yes" on my game. I can't think of a reason why it happens... did you try doing it again? I found Peru quite easy to do, when compared to the others.

Good luck!

have you finished the game (all levels) and what difficulty is the time trial on? maybe that would affect it?

oh no wonder it keeps ending for me when I am still at the bear part.

I'm sorry if this is a bit of a daft question, but when you started the level did you set the difficulty level to "Time Trial"?

The time trial option doesn't appear till the game is over. And "time trial" is the level of difficulty. It gets added to the list (easy, normal, hard) + Time trial.

I'm sorry if this is a bit of a daft question, but when you started the level did you set the difficulty level to "Time Trial"?

It's an honest mistake but the timer on screen only appears if the option was changed to "time trial" .... It shouldn't happen but even tho the limit is 6 minutes, maybe it needs to get done at about 5 or something?

Is that necessary?

No...I didn't set it to time trial. I wasn't aware you had to. But i'll give anything a shot. Thanks to all for your replies.

Okay, yeah, in order to complete the time trial you have to start the level in time trial mode. To do that you have to choose "Replay Level" from the "Play Game" menu, and then select "Time Trial" as the difficulty level.

LMAO! Are you serious? Of course you don't need to collect anything

Anyway, that really is a strange bug Except from trying to do it again i can't think of anything else, or maybe try to do some other level on timetrial and see if it works.

The Coliseum is quite easty (or should be)... i myselt haven't done it, i'm struggling to do it atm and it's really getting on my nerves... i must be the lousiest player on Earth when it comes to timetrials! I don't know why but when i set it on timetrial everything that can possibly go wrong - goes wrong! And in the Coliseum i ALWAYS die at least 5 times just before the end, it's so frustrating! I do it quite quickly until i get to the balcony roof and from then on something happens and i start dying and dying until my time is up! And in such ridiculous ways! That happens on timetrials only! I wish i knew how to make those stupid videos so that i can show you what i'm talking about - you'd really have a laugh (although it makes me cry, lol)...

Anyways, good luck with yours!

Boaz you make me laugh... No offense

Why should there be any?

i done the time trial for mountain caves with one second to spare lol, it literally got to zero as the level ens screen came on and says 5 59 that was close, i couldnt do vilcabamba, i done lost valley but the first few attempts it froze when i put the second cog in, i just wore anniversary costume and took it a bit slower and it didnt freeze, not sure what was happening. on ps2 it seems to freeze if you go to fast without stoppin which is stupid, im not gonna bother with anymore time trials you only get cheats i think and i dnt need them so pointless

on my game the timetrial option was unlocked after completeing the first level is it different on each system

every time you complete a level, you can go back and replay it in easy, medium, hard and time trial mode.

there is no need to complete the entire game before you can replay each level.

Lara has never had such a hard time throwing her grapple until I'm in the middle of a time trial...

I've never had a problem where it never registered that it was completed though.

I really wish I had known that before.

I'm down to The Lost Valley (2 cogs) and now have to start over (on easy mode).

I kept starting over cause I missed stuff.

Now I find out I don't have to get anything.

I wish those walkthroughs, or even the included instruction book made that clear ahead of time.

The split second pausing should be obvious (most noticeable in Croft Manner exit to garden).

It freezes for a moment, because a new scene is loading overlapping the one that is finishing, in this case it's the cutscene.

What I hate has more to do with the Sony controller than the game.

It's when Lara jumps on a pillar landing on 1 foot.

As soon as she lands, the controls automatically turn.

When you have her just right, and press triangle to regain her balance, the last movement you made on the pillar will register even if you aren't touching the controls.

This is similar to high jumps (Mountain Caves).

I have only found 2 cogs on this profile.

I did find the third once, but I forgot where that was.

I don't know if you've gotten to it yet, but if you want more kills, another pack of wolves is waiting for you after you get the second cog and after inserting the third.

When you get the second cog and kill the bats, swing to where you were before, but instead of climbing down, just drop off where the water bends.

The current will take Lara around the corner and down the waterfall without hurting her.

I think this was a mistake, and Crystal Dynamics should have added some slippery stones and jagged rocks in the river bed, so there's an equal chance she might not survive.
